Chapter 401: Mangdang kills the snake, the five elders of the five directions

"Great Celestial Venerable, I once refined the right hand of the Saint Zhunti, and my strength has been greatly improved."

"This time, Yang Jian, Guanyin, and Zhenwu were able to advance to Daluo because they refined the Sage's Finger."

"Now, there is a chance to obtain the complete body of the saint."

"If the Great Lord is interested, I am willing to cooperate with him sincerely."

Tathagata believed that the Jade Emperor would definitely be moved.

The quasi-saint hopes to go one step further and become a saint.

Zhenjun hopes to be promoted to Daluo further.

As a quasi-saint who has tried the flesh of a saint, he can say responsibly that everyone who has tried the flesh of a saint says it is good.

He also gave it a five-star rating.

With the endorsement of these old customers, who would not believe it? Who could not believe it? The most important thing is that this is actually true.

Ji Changsheng also knew that all this was true.

So after he received the message from Tathagata, he began to sympathize with Tathagata for a while.

At this time, Queen Mother and Yang Jian had already left.

Ji Changsheng certainly has time to deal with Tathagata.

"Buddha, please tell me in detail."

The Buddha took a direct step forward and returned to the Lingxiao Palace to have a one-on-one private conversation with the Jade Emperor.

Ji Changsheng was the first to apologize to Tathagata: "Buddha, Jian'er's promotion to Daluo was his own plan, and I was not aware of it beforehand. By the time I saw Jian'er's promotion, it was a done deal. After all, he is my nephew, and it is a rare opportunity for him to be promoted to Daluo. Please forgive me, Buddha."

In fact, normally speaking, the Jade Emperor is ranked above Buddha.

As a boss, even if he has done something wrong, there is no need to admit his mistake to his subordinates.

But the boss Haotian is an atypical boss, he is really too tolerant.

In order not to destroy Haotian's setting, Ji Changsheng had to lower his attitude a bit.

As expected, the "Jade Emperor" was the first to apologize, which was not unexpected by Buddha Tathagata.

This is in line with Haotian's ninja way.

Those who practice ninjutsu basically do not have any charisma of a powerful person in a higher position, and in fact it is difficult for them to convince their subordinates.

It is precisely because of this that Haotian needs to pay special attention to his confidants.

Yang Jian is Haotian's nephew and is extremely talented. The opportunity to be promoted to Daluo is before him. If Tathagata puts himself in his shoes, he will definitely seize this opportunity if he were Haotian.

Now that you have decided to cooperate with the Jade Emperor, it is not a good choice to continue to worry about this matter.

Therefore, the Tathagata Buddha could only take advantage of the situation and said, "Great Venerable, you are too polite. All of this was planned by the Great Emperor Changsheng, and the Great Venerable was also dragged into it."

Ji Changsheng nodded, agreeing: "Yes, all of this is the conspiracy of the Great Emperor Changsheng. Ji Changsheng is... really scary."

There is no need to be embarrassed when praising yourself.

Buddha Tathagata also agreed with Ji Changsheng's words.

"Great Celestial Venerable, although Ji Changsheng is young, he is ruthless and has the ability to manipulate powerful people from all sides. How old is he now? I remember he is less than 30 years old, and it has been less than a year since he started practicing. He dares to cause trouble in the Heavenly Palace now. If he is given another two years, what can he do? I dare not even imagine it."

The Buddha Tathagata is deliberately exaggerating the "horror theory of immortality."

But to a certain extent, what He said was also what was in His heart.

"I have been enlightened since ancient times, and I have seen countless powerful men. But I have never seen a ruthless top trader like Ji Changsheng, who is also a top warrior. Great Tianzun, he is your direct competitor. If Ji Changsheng is not eliminated, I am afraid that the Great Tianzun will never have peace."

"That's what the Buddha said."

Ji Changsheng gave Tathagata spiritual support for a while.

Indeed, if he is not eliminated, Haotian will have no good days.

Now he has gone to the lower world to suffer.

However, according to the speed of time flow in heaven and earth, and Haotian's control over the "Yin Shi Painted Skin Sutra", Ji Changsheng estimated that Haotian would soon possess the strength of Daluo level.

After all, it is actually much easier for Haotian to practice "The Painted Skin of the Yin Corpse" than for Ji Changsheng or even Dou Mu Yuanjun.

They are all there to replace others.

Haotian only needs to replace himself.

The difficulty is countless times smaller and the effect is countless times better.

As long as Haotian survives the initial development stage, with his strength, it won't be a problem for him to roam the world.

Although Ji Changsheng already knew at this time that the current leader behind Wu Chu seemed to be the reincarnation of Jade Purity True King.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva told him privately that he could not be sure about this matter and it was just Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's guess.

However, Ji Changsheng observed it and found that this guess was almost correct.

But that has nothing to do with him.

Ji Changsheng had his own things to do, so he was too lazy to pay more attention.

This is a problem that Haotian needs to consider.

If Haotian can't even deal with Jade Purity True King, then he deserves it.

As the leader of the Six Emperors, Haotian suffered a setback in the lower world, which only shows that he is no longer qualified to continue to lead the Heavenly Court.

Ji Changsheng was quite looking forward to this result.

However, Ji Changsheng didn't think this possibility was very high.

Play is play, joke is joke, but you can't really joke with Haotian. Although Ji Changsheng doesn't quite agree with Haotian's ninja way, he still agrees with Haotian's strength.

"It seems that the Great Sage Pingzhang is really working for Ji Changsheng. I had my doubts before." Ji Changsheng took the initiative to reflect on himself.

After the Great Sage Ping Zhang caused trouble in the Heavenly Palace this time, the relationship between the Great Sage Ping Zhang and Ji Changsheng could no longer be concealed.

What the outside world saw at this time was that the Great Emperor Changsheng was supporting the Great Sage Pingzhang behind the scenes, while the Great Sage Pingzhang was working for the Great Emperor Changsheng in private.

Almost all big bosses have black gloves and white gloves, where the black gloves do shady things and the white gloves do official things.

The previous position of the Great Sage of Settlement was like the black glove of the Great Emperor of Longevity.

This time when the chaos occurred in the Heavenly Palace, it was obvious that the Great Sage Ping Zhang and the Great Emperor Changsheng revealed a close connection, so from now on the Great Sage Ping Zhang could become the white glove of the Great Emperor Changsheng.

Everyone is doing similar things. The black glove of the Taiqing lineage is the Bull Demon King, and the white glove is the Taibai Star Lord. Haotian's black glove is Fu Yuanxian Weng, and the white glove is Yang Jian, and Taibai Star Lord is half, including Wang Lingguan, who Haotian thinks is his confidant.

Tathagata must have one too, but Ji Changsheng doesn’t know Tathagata well enough now, so he doesn’t know that Tathagata has already assigned the location of the black gloves to the Garuda.

The Buddha Tathagata had long known about the relationship between the Great Sage Pingzhang and Ji Changsheng, but he did not expect that Haotian would actually doubt it.

Now Haotian finally faced the reality, which made Buddha Tathagata feel relieved.

It’s good to have this awareness.

Only after knowing the threat posed by Ji Changsheng will they cooperate with him in depth.

"The Great Saint of Balance of Accounts should be Ji Changsheng's inner monkey. Ji Changsheng wants to use the identity of the Great Saint of Balance of Accounts to protect Zhunti's successful reincarnation and revival, restore her saintly strength, and at the same time regain control of Buddhism."

The Buddha shared all the information he knew with the Jade Emperor.

"Saint Zhunti has not completely perished, and Buddhism has escaped the control of Western religions. This matter has also exceeded Saint Zhunti's bottom line. With my teacher's guarantee, Saint Jieyin and I have reached an agreement. Saint Zhunti will help me spread the Buddhist faith to the Human Emperor's territory, and I will fully support Saint Zhunti's return. Your Majesty, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

The voice of Tathagata Buddha had an inexplicable allure: "I can tell your Majesty responsibly that the strength of the Saint Zhunti will recover very slowly."

Ji Changsheng narrowed his eyes.

This is true.

Because Zhunti left most of his strength to his incarnation, Subhuti.

The strength of the reincarnated body must be built up step by step.

Neither Ji Changsheng nor Zhunti wanted his reincarnated body to improve too quickly.

This can easily make your fishing plan more difficult.

However, the Buddha Tathagata also understood this situation.

It seems that even among the local Western religious factions there are traitors who have defected to Tathagata.

This is not surprising.

Ji Changsheng stood in the perspective of the Jade Emperor and cautiously said to the Buddha Tathagata: "I also know a thing or two about this matter. It seems to involve the planning of the saints, and it has the endorsement of the saints. I haven't decided whether to participate or not."

Buddha Tathagata and Ji Changsheng looked at each other and said something earth-shattering: "Great Heavenly Venerable, you should destroy it, because the plan behind this is to get the two saints of the West out of the control of Daozu."

Ji Changsheng looked moved.

It seems that I underestimated Xiaoru before.

Xiaoru analyzed the problem very thoroughly and saw through the phenomenon to the essence.

"If the Saint Zhunti successfully revives and returns, and the Buddhist teachings expand to the territory of the Human Emperor, and if all the powerful men who are interested in the body of the Saint Zhunti are subdued along the way, the Western Church will completely repay the 'Heavenly Loan'. By then, the two Western Saints will regain their freedom, and the Taoist Ancestor will become a lonely man. Great Celestial Venerable, you were supported by the Taoist Ancestor, and you should destroy this plan for the Taoist Ancestor."

The "Jade Emperor" remained silent, seemingly digesting this important information.

"I am willing to do my best to help the Great Lord."

The Jade Emperor took a deep breath and said, "Buddha, what do you want?"

“First, the death of Saint Zhunti.

"Second, part of the body of the Saint Zhunti.

“Third, take complete control of Buddhism.

“Fourth, the Great Emperor Changsheng’s plan failed.

“Fifth, leave a holy seat vacant.

"Great Lord, you and I share the same position and interests."

These five reasons are all the true words of Buddha Tathagata.

Sincerity is the eternal secret weapon.

So the Jade Emperor was moved.

"I feel the Buddha's sincerity."

Buddha Tathagata smiled and said, "Great Venerable, you and I have both reached the peak of the quasi-saint realm. I think you, like me, hope that the saint realm will change. If the saints always remain the same, how can we make progress?"

"That's true, but there's only one holy seat left. How can you and I divide it?"

The Tathagata Buddha spoke compassionately, "Great Lord, you and I have shared the food of the Saint Zhunti. If we join forces again, won't we be able to match the strength of another saint? I have the support of my teacher, and you have the support of the Taoist Patriarch. By then, whether it is Jie Yin, Nuwa, or even Yuan Shi... they may not be unable to give it a try."

Ji Changsheng was moved again.

Although I don't know if Tathagata really thinks this way, but he actually dares to say this...

Xiaoru, Xiaoru, your ambition is really too big.

I will play the "VCR" for the guiding saint Nuwa and Yuanshi Tianwang to listen to.

Be sure to let them know your evil intentions.

"Buddha...what a spirit."

Ji Changsheng swore that there was nothing sarcastic in this sentence.

The voice of Tathagata Buddha was calm but firm: "During the Conferred God Tribulation, I wanted to go one step further and compete with the saints. Great Heavenly Venerable, I think every one of us quasi-saints has this kind of ambition in our hearts. Now that the opportunity is in front of us, if we don't take it, we will suffer the consequences. You and I will join forces to thwart the plans of Zhunti Saint and Ji Changsheng. This is not a delusion."

"What would the Buddha like to do?"

"Saint Zhunti wants to fish, so we should increase the amount of fish." Buddha Tathagata looked at the Jade Emperor again: "If they catch piranhas, it is not certain who will be eaten in the end. A Great Saint Pingzhang who has not yet been promoted to Daluo, and a reincarnated saint who is slowly recovering. Great Heavenly Venerable, this combination is not that difficult to deal with."

The Jade Emperor nodded slowly: "I fully support the Buddha, and will also use the power of heaven to help the Buddha expand the territory of Buddhism to all parts of the prehistoric world and even the heavens and all realms."

The Tathagata Buddha bowed and paid homage: "Thank you, great lord."

"With the death of Ziwei and Gouchen, many positions in the Heavenly Court have been vacated. If the Buddha needs it, I will help him fill some positions in the Heavenly Court. In the future, if there is any problem in the Heavenly Court, I will also give priority to asking the Buddha for help."

Ji Changsheng said this and said self-deprecatingly: "My Taoism is special and I will not take action easily. There are not many gods available in the Heavenly Court, not to mention that the Buddha also needs to establish his prestige and fame. Buddha, I want to make you the first quasi-saint under the saint, what do you think?"

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

The Buddha was slightly excited.

He has always believed that his strength can ensure he is in the top five or even the top three among the quasi-saints, and after defeating Zhunti, he can ensure he is in the top three or even the top one.

But that was just His own estimate.

There are so many heroes in the world. Apart from anything else, the Great Master Xuandu defeated Zhunti before him, and he defeated Zhunti's real body.

However, Master Xuandu used more means, and he did not refine the physical body of a saint, so Buddha Tathagata also had a certain degree of confidence when facing Master Xuandu.

The other Daluo that he was afraid of, including the Old Ancestor of the Styx and Dou Mu Yuanjun, were all killed by Nuwa.

There aren't many powerful masters left who are not absolutely sure of being defeated, but there are still some, such as Hou Tu Niangniang, Zhen Yuanzi, Haotian...

Now Haotian takes the initiative to make him the first quasi-saint under the saint, and Tathagata cares a lot about this false reputation.

When they reach this point, momentum and reputation can actually be transformed into strength.

As long as the Demon King Jiao had a connection with the Emperor Changsheng, he immediately gained influence beyond the circle and obtained countless benefits.

Moreover, if Tathagata Buddha can firmly establish himself as the strongest person under the saints, he will be able to obtain even more benefits, including rectifying the internal affairs of Buddhism and recruiting other strong people, which will be several times easier than before.

Of course, where there are pros there are cons.

A tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.

But with the arrogance of Buddha Tathagata, he naturally would not take this risk seriously.

After going through all the thoughts in his mind, Tathagata Buddha was the first to express humility: "Of course, this humble monk is no match for the Great Celestial Venerable."

Ji Changsheng chuckled and said, "I don't care about these false names, but I still need the Buddha to help me solve my problems."

"The Great Heavenly Venerable has a high realm." The Tathagata Buddha flattered him, and then did not continue to be modest: "In this case, I will obey the Great Heavenly Venerable's orders in everything."

"Well, I will start arranging this matter immediately. As for the Saint Zhunti, I will leave it to the Buddha to plan, and I will cooperate with him fully."

The Tathagata Buddha accepted the order and said: "I will definitely live up to your expectations."

…

As soon as the Buddha left, Queen Mother Wang arrived quickly.

"Haotian is being targeted."

"What?"

"Haotian has been targeted by the remnants of the demon clan. It is the white snake that once sniped and killed the Immortal Qin Emperor. It really has the strength of Daluo."

When the Queen Mother waved her phoenix robe, Ji Changsheng saw a white snake running across the entire mountain range.

Although they were thousands of miles apart, Ji Changsheng still felt the monstrous demonic energy.

Ji Changsheng was a little surprised: "Have you found out the origin of this white snake?"

"No."

"Why would he target Haotian?"

"The demon race should have the means to predict the fate, and will hunt down all the strong people who are favored by the fate of humanity. Haotian is now known as the son of the Red Emperor, so he will naturally enter the sight of the demon race. Changsheng Emperor, Haotian is not strong enough now, and needs your help."

Ji Changsheng's eyes flickered: "Not strong enough? Madam, are you sure?"

Queen Mother: “…”

It was certain.

After hearing what Ji Changsheng said, she was no longer sure.

"My Lady, the agreement reached between Haotian and I is a cooperation in which both parties get what they need. It's his business if he gets into danger. I'm not his babysitter." Ji Changsheng said calmly, "Besides, you don't have much confidence in Haotian. He just doesn't attack easily. Don't you want to see how sharp he is when he attacks?"

The Queen Mother frowned slightly: "Haotian has not yet recovered his Daluo strength."

"Really?" Ji Changsheng laughed. "When Immortal Fu Yuan broke through to Daluo, there seemed to be no movement. Fu Yuan got the same treatment, so why didn't Haotian get it?"

The Queen Mother seemed to be thinking: "Is this also hidden from you?"

Ji Changsheng shrugged: "My Lady, do you really understand Haotian's current strength?"

The Queen Mother shook her head.

"Then I suggest that you take a closer look this time. I guarantee that you might be very surprised."

Ji Changsheng's words came true.

The Queen Mother soon began to lose her composure.

Not just the Queen Mother.

Even Ji Changsheng was a little out of control.

"Haotian really hasn't recovered his Daluo strength yet."

This was something Ji Changsheng had not expected.

The Queen Mother clenched her fists and said, "But he killed the white snake with just one sword."

Ji Changsheng said dimly, "Ninjutsu... it's really scary when it explodes. A True Lord kills a Daluo... Madam, has such a thing ever happened?"

The Queen Mother did not speak.

She had no recollection of it.

Ji Changsheng didn’t have any impression of it either.

So Ji Changsheng's eyes were full of weirdness when he looked at Haotian in the lower world.

This guy is really strong.

Perverts are really perverts.

The ninja way that Ji Changsheng imagined was to be a true man for three seconds. The moment of explosion was comparable to a saint, and it would return to normal after three seconds.

What Haotian did was not much different from what Ji Changsheng imagined.

The road that can make Haotian give up his face and dignity must have sufficient rewards, otherwise Haotian is not a fool.

Judging from Haotian’s performance, the return is indeed amazing.

But it's still too perverted.

"Emperor Changsheng, you have to be careful." The Queen Mother suddenly spoke.

Ji Changsheng expressed doubts.

The Queen Mother reminded him, "Haotian has been holding back on his attack. He definitely didn't leave this sword for the demon clan's Daluo. I don't know how difficult it will be to recharge the power, but it shouldn't be without cost."

Ji Changsheng narrowed his eyes.

This reminder is correct.

The Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Formation that was formed before the Human Emperor was definitely not aimed at Emperor Ziwei in the beginning.

Of course, the sword that Haotian had spent countless years sharpening was not aimed at the white snake.

"You stopped Fu Yuanxianweng and Yang Jian. Changsheng Emperor, these will all be cause and effect in the future."

The Queen Mother looked at Ji Changsheng deeply.

Ji Changsheng was not surprised that his actions could not be hidden from the Queen Mother.

He just chuckled and said, "The queen doesn't seem to have any intention of taking the initiative."

The Queen Mother said calmly: "Haotian said that after his reincarnation, I will reduce my presence. And I am not a human after all. If my original body takes action, it will easily cause fear among the powerful humans. I don't want to have misunderstandings with the human race. The Emperor Changsheng is much more convenient than me in this regard."

"Does your Majesty want to get closer to the human race?" Ji Changsheng suddenly asked.

The Queen Mother did not immediately understand what Ji Changsheng meant.

“Now it seems that Haotian…hid too deeply. Yuqing Zhenwang is definitely not a match for an old silver coin like him.”

In fact, judging from his performance in the lower realm, Jade Purity True King is now more powerful and more talented, and can be said to be no different from the former Xing Tian.

But it's no use.

Because Xing Tian was killed by Haotian.

When the God of War meets Old Silver Coin, it is usually the Old Silver Coin who survives to the end that wins.

Besides, whether Jade Purity True King wants to be the Emperor of Man is also a question.

So Ji Changsheng began to think about what to do next.

With Haotian's means, if he is allowed to lead the human race for a long time, he might really be able to complete his evolution.

If Haotian could combine the Way of Ninja and the Way of the Emperor into one in his reincarnation, he would create a path that belongs to him alone.

Then this guy's threat is much greater than Tathagata.

We must nip problems in the bud.

"My lady, the human race is the trend. You should have seen this, right?"

The Queen Mother nodded: "Haotian has chosen to integrate into the human race, so of course I will not go against the trend."

"I want to set up the Five Elders under the Four Imperial Guardians. For now, I will temporarily position them above the Nine Stars and only recruit Daluo strongmen."

Hearing Ji Changsheng say this, Queen Mother was instantly moved: "Emperor Changsheng, the five Daluo are not that easy to recruit."

"It's not five, it's ten." Ji Changsheng corrected: "The five directions are the southeast, northwest, northeast and center. Each direction has a Daluo strongman. The Five Elders are like the guests offered by the Heavenly Court. They can be used to attract Daluo strongmen from other forces."

The Queen Mother became more and more upset: "Where can we find ten powerful Daluo masters to join the Heavenly Court?"

"The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of the human race are all at the level of Daluo. Madam, no matter who you can win over, as long as they are powerful human beings at the level of Daluo, I can add them to the establishment of the Five Elders of the Five Directions. These can all be counted as your relationship and good karma. At present, I only want two establishments among the Five Elders, which I will leave to Tathagata and Guanyin Bodhisattva, and the other eight establishments will all be left to you as a favor. This matter is not urgent. It is better to have no establishment than to have too many people in the Five Elders of the Five Directions."

Ji Changsheng smiled and said, "My queen, the good karma compiled by the eight Daluo is my gift to you. Before Haotian returns, I hope that the Heavenly Palace can become the shape of me and my queen."
